Dubai Trade has recently launched the LogiGate platform to enhance its online services for business in Dubai. LogiGate provides users with two smart services “LogiGate Transport” and “LogiGate Warehousing” to manage land transportation and warehousing bookings, accessible both online and on smartphones.

The new services will benefit Dubai’s trade and logistics sector by providing speed and accuracy in logistics and supply chain management, allowing existing users to enhance profitability and grow their operations.

Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and CEO of DP World and Chairman of Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation, said: "The LogiGate platform develops Dubai’s trade infrastructure, particularly in the areas of import, storage, and export by land and sea. It also supports the UAE’s economic capabilities in line with the country’s National Agenda and the UAE Vision 2021 that aim to enhance the country’s economy.”

Dubai Trade has designed the interface of the app to be simple to use on smartphones, in line with the Smart Dubai initiative to transform Dubai into a smart city with seamless and technologically accessible services. LogiGate can also be easily accessed online at www.logiGate.ae.

The app also offers a virtual market that enables carriers to source cargo and land transportation services with ease. Cargo owners can select the best rates from several registered transportation companies, tracking their shipment using GPS in addition to processing their payments online through Dubai Trade’s secured e-Payment gateway “Rosoom”. Other benefits for transporters include securing revenues through an online payment feature, receiving real-time notifications for new job opportunities and biding for jobs to maximize profits.

LogiGate will also soon roll out a smart service connecting warehouse owners and warehousing service providers with customers seeking storage space for their cargo, allowing them to book online or through the mobile app. Both “LogiGate Transport” and “LogiGate Warehousing” help customers fill idle capacities and enhance operational efficiency.
